Button Quail?

get them off the turkey starter and on to regular meatbird or gamebird crumbles, mix in 40-50% finch seed mix, pet bird not wild bird mix. It should not be crushed as they wont eat the fine powdery stuff anyway. I supplement with fresh veggies/fruits like broccoli, spinach, corn that has been squeezed from the shells, cooked carrot, fine diced apple no skin or seeds, banana and melon too. Once a week you can give them meal worms but try to limit them as they are the candy of the button world and will lead to fat livered birds, not healthy. And always offer oyster shell in a seperate dish both the males and females eat it, but the hens must have extra calcium so it is pretty important. Good Luck
